San Francisco Bay area teacher tweets about wanting to stab students

A teacher in California’s Bay Area has been reprimanded after she reportedly tweeted that she wanted to stab some students and that her “trigger finger is itchy.”

The Oakland Tribune Newark Memorial High School administrators disciplined teacher Krista Hodges with a written reprimand, but she remains in the classroom as the new school year begins. The tweets, which were sprinkled with obscene language, were posted before the end of the last school year, in June.

Some parents said they found the posts insulting. One tweet allegedly insinuated that Hodges wanted to dump hot coffee on some of her students.
